Chronology, networks, society: the Münchshöfen culture at the enclosure site of Riedling, Lower Bavaria

下巴伐利亚Münchshöfen文化是新石器时代晚期的几个群体之一，在各种媒体上都可以看到远距离联系。然而，到目前为止，它的相对和绝对年代学都没有得到很好的理解，在欧洲层面上造成了知识差距：新石器时代晚期的关键特征之一，新物体和实践的转移，不能在东欧和西欧之间充分表征或同步。此外，甚至关于经济、交流和仪式习俗的基本资料也几乎没有，因此无法将Münchshöfen文化与其邻国进行比较。之所以出现这种情况，是因为迄今为止还没有对较大的Münchshöfen文化遗址进行全面分析和发表。本项目将利用下巴伐利亚州里德尔（Riedling）的圈地提供的特殊有利条件，实现以下目标：为Münchshöfen文化的后部分提供可靠的相对和绝对年表，从而为区域间比较奠定基础。对Münchshöfen文化经济有基本的了解。追踪远距离的联系和网络，特别是关于陶器生产、石器交换和仪式创新。通过全面分析和出版Riedling，包括所有发现类别，该附件可以成为区域一级的参考站点，并将促进和从根本上影响Münchshöfen文化的长期研究。此外，该项目将为新石器时代晚期创新传播、文化异质性和新身份群体创造的辩论提供坚实的基础。

The Lower Bavarian Münchshöfen culture is one of several late Neolithic groups with long-distance contacts visible in a variety of media. However, so far both its relative and absolute chronology are badly understood, creating a knowledge gap at the European level: the transfer of new objects and practices, one of the key features of the late Neolithic, cannot be adequately characterised or synchronised between eastern and western Europe. In addition, even basic information on economy, exchange and ritual practices is virtually absent, making it impossible to compare the Münchshöfen culture to its neighbours. This situation has arisen because so far no larger Münchshöfen culture sites have been comprehensively analysed and published.The present project will exploit the exceptionally favourable conditions provided by the enclosure at Riedling, Lower Bavaria, to achieve the following aims:1. Provide a secure relative and absolute chronology for the latter part of the Münchshöfen culture, thus establishing the foundation for inter-regional comparison.2. Gain a basic understanding of Münchshöfen culture economy.3. Trace long-distance connections and networks, particularly concerning pottery production, lithic exchange and ritual innovations.By analysing and publishing Riedling in full, including all finds categories, this enclosure can become a reference site at the regional level and will facilitate and fundamentally influence research into the Münchshöfen culture in the long term. In addition, this project will provide a sound basis for contributions to the debate on the spread of innovations, cultural heterogeneity and the creation of new identity groups in the late Neolithic.
